Are you saying that they don't play the studio stuff since Mike's death live or songs from Space Wrangler, Ain't life Grand or Til the medicine takes live anymore? Because if you mean the ladder you are mistaken

I'm not sure how you got that from what I posted.

The songs that Widespread Panic have written since 2002 are for the most part hot garbage.

The setlists are almost entirely pre 2002 material. Houser material. JB can write lyrics but no one has known how the frick to write a song since Houser died.

Yeah I agree with you that most of the stuff they have written since 02 hasn't been great but I wouldn't go as far as to say they are just going through the motions during live shows. I've heard many different versions of Houser's songs with different jams and they do a lot of great covers. I believe they are still one of the best live performances to see these days and I won't miss any opportunity to go when they come close to La
